The Department of Health and Human Services has partnered with Baby2Baby to distribute 3,000 newborn supply kits to new mothers through participating hospitals and community-based organizations in Arkansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico, and eventually plans to expand the pilot program to other states. The kits include diapers and wipes, clothing, hygiene items, a newborn blanket, thermometer and other supplies. For more on the initiative, visit www.hhs.gov/newbaby
